Best wakes are with full MLS and about 2-300 in the nose. You might want to try shifting some weight around to suit your riding. I have some guys in the crew that just want the wedge. Recently I have been making people ride in the bow and it really helps smooth and increase wake size with the wedge deployed. <BR>Buy the carpet insert or make one, before the first oil change. <BR>Sometimes the factory will over fill the new Hurth tranny and it will spill out the breather. It has happened to several people early in production last year. <BR>Break it in exactly like the manual states, then run it hard for a few minutes every time out. <BR>As far as chop, much better than my old DD, much better than the old 23V, but right now I don't think that matters- the boat is already bought. Have fun, you will probably love the wake, like most people.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>
